  3. So-now we exercise! • When you go to a gym to exercise, you can’t expect to have giant biceps, a teeny little waist and a killer bod the first time you try the bench press. • You start with small weights and lots of reps to gradually build muscle. • Long-term studying is the same idea.

  4. You can’t do well on tests if you don’t exercise first!

  5. Lots of reps • To easily recall information, we have to see it, hear it, do it, write it, etc. 6 or more times. • Just like building muscle, you have to perform many sets while adding a little weight each time.

  6. Lots of Reps • Reviewing for each class daily will be just like reps in the gym. Daily Review = Better Grades Reps in the Gym = Healthier Bod and Bigger Muscles
